Kakata, Margibi County — Kakata City Manager, Reuben Blacke, has been remanded at the Kakata Central Prison on the orders of Resident Circuit Court Judge, Victor Duncan, following a controversial eviction exercise carried out by the Kakata City Corporation.
The incident stems from an ejectment notice issued by the Kakata Magisterial Court, which ordered the removal of street vendors who had reportedly installed containers and were selling in front of the Salvation Army property in Kakata.
According to reports, while the eviction process was underway, Judge Duncan allegedly intervened by placing a phone call instructing that the operation be halted.
However, by the time the directive was communicated, the enforcement action had already been executed by city authorities.
The judge’s decision to imprison City Manager Blacke is believed to be linked to alleged non-compliance with his order, raising concerns about possible contempt of court.
The situation has sparked public debate over the timing of the judge’s intervention and the city corporation’s adherence to judicial authority.
Further developments are expected as the matter continues to unfold.
